Will Shipley was drafted with the idea that he’d bring a dynamic, dual-threat ability to the Eagles’ offense. During the first drive of the preseason, Shipley made the case to be a huge part of the offense in 2024.
On the Eagles’ second drive, in place of Kenneth Gainwell, Shipley had seven carries for 23 yards rushing and one catch for a 7-yard touchdown.
